When my husband told me a few weeks ago that he had to go to New York for work I couldn’t resist the temptation to visit again the city. The first time I went there was two years ago and I didn’t have much idea of how to use my camera (you can see a few photos of that trip in the first post I published). Since that time, I always hoped I could return to New York again and retake a few of the photos that I made during that first trip to the “Big Apple”.
So I have spent this last week in New York. Seven days wandering around the carismathic neighborghoods of this amazing city, revisiting its landmarks and discovering new beautiful places, getting to know its streets and squares… I had such an incredible time there!! Maybe this time the skycrappers didn’t look so huge as the first time, but I have more time to look at the small details of its architecture and enjoy the contrast between the different buildings and areas. And I could experience a bit more the incredible fast and busy life of this city.
I also enjoyed to experience another season in New York. Two years ago I visited the city in June. It was sunny, hot and very humid, and it was difficult to walk long distances with those high temperatures and the sticky air. This time I could see the city during the best days of spring: the streets and parks were full of cherry blosoms and flowers and all the trees had this gorgeous bright green of the new leafs.
The first days I explored the areas of Midtown, Chelsea, Morningside Heights, Upper West Side, Central Park and Brooklyn. Here are some of the photos I took there. I hope you like them!
